Convenient Stay Near Everything

studio roomground floorwelcome packhard bed
My studio room was compact but it had a good layout, positioned on the ground floor. I liked the enclosed outdoor area attached to it, a real bonus for dog owners. The welcome pack in my room included some treats, it was a thoughtful touch.
I found the beds to be quite hard, I felt sore after sleeping on them. It was like sleeping on the floor, and I was uncomfortable the following day.

spacious roomtrain stationstreaming servicedamp smell
the room was larger than i expected. the location is wonderful, right next to the train station. it's a short walk to the main town center and a bit further to the beach. i could stream my favorite shows with the tv.
unfortunately, the room had a slight damp smell. i think the carpet was recently cleaned. the linens smelled a little musty too.

Excellent Stay Near Arran Ferry

easy check-inclean roomconvenient locationhard beds
Check-in was easy. I appreciated how clean the room was. It was comfortable for my family. The hotel's location provided a great stopover before catching the ferry to Arran the next day.
The beds felt quite hard, and I woke up sore after sleeping on them. It reminded me of sleeping on the floor all night.
